Discussion

Cross-sectional analysis highlights knowledge and skills gaps in nurses, indicating potential for improvement in NSI prevention.

Nurses exhibited 85.1% excellent knowledge and 61.2% satisfactory skills in needlestick injury prevention, but unsafe practices were evident.
Only 43.3% of nurses perceived needlestick injuries as serious, suggesting an attitudinal gap that affects reporting and safety.
Data were collected using structured questionnaires and observational checklists, assessing knowledge, skills, and attitudes related to NSIs.
Ongoing monitoring and targeted interventions are necessary to bridge knowledge gaps and improve adherence to safety protocols.

Jayachandra et al. (2025) studied this question.
